selfish, ignorant and inconsiderate disposal of waste that causes the death of innocent
birds than mistaken the waste for food. From Fashion Marketing & Management.

Please

Please paints the glaring reality of
the situation of Earth whereby 75% of the earth is being destroyed by human
selfish activities such as illegal logging, open burning and etc. Using recycle
items such as old rusted metal, old bottles, cans, wood and an few others,
‘Please’ creates an art installation showing the stark difference between the
causes of destruction and the benefits of reconstruction. From Interior Design.

Recycle Sushi

Recycle Sushi with its hauntingly true
tagline, ‘What Goes into the Ocean, Goes into you’ highlights the problem of
disposal of waste especially non-biodegradable items such as plastic materials
into the ocean which causes contamination of our marine wildlife and then
eventually, harming mankind as well. With that, its artwork emulates our favourite
sushi using plastic bags, Styrofoam and old boxes. From Fashion Marketing &
Management.

state of Earth whereby it is bleeding at its core due to the demand of natural
resources that exceeds 30% more resources than earth can replenish. From
Interior Design.

installation that tells a story of hope for the future. The first tier that has
images of people engaging in outdoor activities into the second tier that shows
a mock of the stores that we have at Pavilion with a recycle icon and lastly is

Communication.

Rebirth

Rebirth depicts the life cycle of a
crane from an egg to an adult and it questions the number of cranes that are
able to live through the entire cycle as it has been listed as endangered
wildlife. The main causes of the near extinction of these cranes are due to
loss of habitat, poisoning due to gran treated with pesticides and other human
activities. From Visual Communication.

The White Recycle Bag Dress as its
name states is a garment sewn using recyclable plastic with designs inspired by
Japanese elements. Its two-piece garment and shape design is inspired by the
traditional samurai armour while its shoulder technique is inspired the
Japenese shrines and lastly its unique pattern is inspired by the Kitsune mask.
